New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns sat out their game against the Golden State Warriors at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday due to "personal reasons." The Knicks bowed to the Warriors, 114-102,

The Knicks have been led by a dynamic duo of Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns this season, combining to average 50.6 points per game. But, for Tuesday's matchup, they might have to go with just half of their tandem.

Karl-Anthony Towns is in the midst of a career season, his first in a Knicks uniform. After the Timberwolves sent the star big man to New York prior to the 2024-25 season, Towns has averaged 24.5 points, his most since the 2021-22 season, along with a career-high 13.4 rebounds per game.
